Power Peptides

Power peptides mimic the effect of the skin’s own peptides and can fulfil a variety of specific functions thanks to the different composition of amino acids. Here we describe power peptides from the SpecPed® range from SpecChem Industries.

 

Power peptides with anti-ageing effect

Acetyl hexapeptide-3/8

Acetyl hexapeptide-3/8 reduces the depth of facial wrinkles and improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It works by inhibiting the formation of the SNARE complex and the release of catecholamines.
The peptide is a favourable alternative to Botox as it acts on the same wrinkle formation process, but in a different way.
Application; anti-wrinkle, anti-ageing skin care, moisturiser, in cream, lotion, serum, toner

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

It stimulates collagen formation and glucosaminoglycan synthesis.
This reduces the length and depth of wrinkles. Thanks to its moisturising effect, it helps with rough skin and gives the skin a firmer, plumper appearance.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, after-sun products, moisturiser

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

A versatile representative of the power peptides. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 prevents loss of skin firmness. It also firms the delicate skin around the eyes and prevents puffiness and bags under the eyes.
It reduces the secretion of IL-6 by keratinocytes and thus has an anti-inflammatory effect, even after UVB exposure.
Application: to prevent wrinkles, repair care, for mature skin, eye contour care, anti-stretch mark moisturiser, after-sun care

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

This peptide was first developed for wound healing and is now also used as an anti-ageing active ingredient.
It stimulates the synthesis of collagen I, III and VI, the formation of fibronectin, elastin and glucosaminoglycans. It thus prevents premature signs of ageing and fine lines caused by facial expressions and reduces the intensity of contraction of the facial muscles.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle products, care for the eye area

Palmitoyl Oligopeptides

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide can promote the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, improve the skin’s moisture content and elasticity, increase the thickness of the dermis and reduce small wrinkles.
It also stimulates cell communication and thus initiates repair processes of age-related skin changes, repairs the skin barrier and smoothes the skin.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle products, care to firm facial and body skin, eye contour care

Acetyl Pentapeptide-1

It improves collagen and elastin formation, reduces wrinkles, increases skin density and firmness. The peptide is water-soluble and is therefore easily absorbed by the skin.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle care for the face, neck, hands and body

Acetyl Octapeptide-1/3

It acts against wrinkles resulting from facial expression muscle contractions by reducing neuronal excitability through destabilisation of the SNARE complex. As a result, deeper lines or wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes are smoothed.
These effects make it a cost-effective alternative to Botox. It also improves collagen and elastin formation, skin density and firmness.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, moisturising products

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

By stimulating signalling between cells, it stimulates collagen formation. Reacting to damage in the extracellular matrix, it also inhibits inflammation.
It is characterised by its comprehensive effect on all age-related wrinkles. It also has a firming and moisturising effect, protects against collagen degradation and gives the skin a plumper, smoother appearance.
Application: Anti-ageing products of all kinds

Dipeptide Diaminobutyrol Benzylamide Diacetate

It revitalises skin that is lacking in elasticity, promotes firmness and health. It also relaxes the facial muscles and smoothes expression lines without diminishing facial expression.
Application: Anti-ageing products for face, neck, hands, eye contour, effect anti-wrinkle products, cotton sheet mask for smoothing facial skin

Pentapeptide-18

This peptide reduces the depth of facial wrinkles. In vitro, it has been shown to specifically control the mechanisms of expression wrinkle formation. It can be used as an alternative to hexapeptide-3, for example.
Application: to reduce deep lines and wrinkles on the face, forehead, eye area, in emulsion, gel, serum

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

It stimulates the synthesis of matrix molecules: hyaluronic acid, collagen I, III and IV, laminin, fibronectin and also fills in wrinkles.
Application: Facial and targeted anti-wrinkle care

Hexapeptide-11 / Acetyl-Hexapeptide -11

These power peptides also reduce wrinkles, have a moisturising and firming effect and also reduce signs of ageing.

Tetrapeptide-32 and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2

These power peptides are used to repair skin damage, stressed skin, the first signs of ageing, rough skin and sun-damaged skin.

 

Power peptides reduce bags under the eyes

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 relieves puffiness in the eye area, has a decongestant effect, reduces oedema in the eye area, bags under the eyes and also improves the elasticity and smoothness of the skin.
Application: Anti-ageing for face, neck and hand care, eye contour care

 

Whitening with power peptides

Tetrapeptide-30

Tetrapeptide-30 inhibits melanin through its regulating effect on tyrosinase activity. It therefore reduces hyperpigmentation, brightens the skin and evens out the skin tone, even on dark skin.
As it soothes inflammation, it can also be recommended for the treatment of acne scars.
Application: brightening products, anti-pigmentation spots, pigmentation irregularities, pigmentation correcting cream, radiance, also in foundation or powder

Hexapeptide-2

The skin-brightening peptide leads to a brighter and more even skin tone by controlling melanin synthesis and reducing pigmentation spots.
Application: brightening products, corrective products for pigmentation spots, pigmentation irregularities, to improve skin radiance

Nonapeptide-1

It inhibits melanin through its regulating effect on tyrosinase activity. It also prevents hyperpigmentation, pigmentation irregularities and regulates skin tone.
Application: brightening products, corrective products for pigmentation spots, pigmentation irregularities, to improve skin radiance, also in foundation or powder

Oligopeptide-34

It inhibits melanin formation at an early stage and thus has a preventive effect against pigmentation spots.
Application: Brightening products

 

Power peptides for thicker, longer eyelashes and hair growth

Myristoryl Pentapeptide-17

It improves the fullness of the hair, strengthens eyelash growth by stimulating the genes for keratin formation.
Application: Eyelash cream, conditioner, hair care, whether shampoos or conditioners

Myristoryl Hexapeptide-16

It promotes longer, thicker eyelashes and visibly and tangibly strengthens the hair.
Application: Eyelash care, hair care

Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1

The peptide promotes longer, fuller eyelashes and stronger hair.
It supports keratinocyte proliferation in the hair bulb and the firm anchoring of the hair by stimulating the synthesis and organisation of the adhesion molecules laminin 5 and collagen IV. It also promotes wound healing.
Application: Mascara, eyelash conditioner, eye make-up remover, hair care

Copper Tripeptide-1

It promotes the breakdown of large collagen aggregations, more even collagen synthesis and the formation of proteoglycans and glucosaminoglycans. As a result, it supports hair growth and the vitality and moisturisation of the skin and scalp. It also has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect.
Application: Anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, hair care

Myristoyl Dipeptide-13

It stimulates hair growth, promotes hair density and also makes the hair supple.
Application; hair care, shampoo, conditioner

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3

This power peptide repairs the follicle cells, stimulates hair growth and in particular promotes the density and length of eyelashes.
Application: Mascaras and eyelash conditioners

 

Power peptides revitalise the colour in white hair

Acetyl Hexapapeptide-1

The peptide activates melanin synthesis and can therefore revitalises the black melanin pigments in white hair.
Application: Hair shampoo, serum, mask

 

Power peptides improve the shape of the breast

Acetyl Hexapeptide-38

The peptide stimulates adipogenesis and causes an increased accumulation of lipids and an increase in volume in desired areas, e.g. breasts and cheeks.
Application: Breast care

 

Power peptides alleviate allergies

Acetyl Hexapeptide-49

This peptide is an example of how power peptides can also be used to alleviate allergies. It alleviates inflammation, strengthens the natural skin barrier, reduces itching in very sensitive skin and helps it to regain its resistance.

 

Power peptides understand the skin

Power peptides are an intelligent, forward-looking way for cosmetics to offer the skin stimulants that are modelled on the skin’s own substances.
